It's like a scene right out of a movie, except disturbing and violent crimes are playing out in real-time on the streets of Philadelphia.

It's been a record-breaking year for carjackings in Philadelphia this year and gas stations are one of the most frequently targeted locations."When you get out of the car, lock the door. When you are in your car, lock the door," said Randy Stevens of Nicetown.While Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney acknowledges reducing crime is his top priority, in a newly published op-ed, Kenney says the violence is fueled by press headlines and state and federal laws.

Councilwoman Gauthier says she's been pushing for an emergency declaration on gun violence, to no avail. "You never know who is around the corner and who else is pumping gas and who is out there who you can't see," said Jerry Carestio of Washington Township, NJ. The Action News Data Journalism team found there have been at least seven shootings and four homicides at Philadelphia gas stations so far this year.
